A plant for all seasons

Symphytum 'Hidcote Blue' is in the comfrey family. It will grow anywhere, shade or sun, on poor neglected soil. So, it is ideal for problem areas. As ground cover, smothers all weeds. Bees love it and if flowers for months. It is invasive, so just keep it within its bounds. Put the leaves into a water butt and it will produce a smelly organic liquid fertiliser.

Today was the village plant sale. We raised well over £400 on plants, and more with cakes and cafe.
